Chemical Reaction Engineering: Understanding Rates, Mechanisms, and Reactor Design

Lecture 7 of our Chemical Reaction Engineering series focuses on the core principles of chemical reaction kinetics, including mole balances, rate laws, and stoichiometry. This lecture includes practical guidelines for tackling problems commonly found in the California Professional Engineers Exam, providing insights into structuring unknowns, utilizing case comparisons, and evaluating heat effects in isothermal designs. These foundational concepts are crucial for effective reactor design and optimizing chemical processes.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Lecture 7 Chemical Reaction Engineering (CRE) is the field that studies the rates and mechanisms of chemical reactions and the design of the reactors in which they take place.

  2. Lecture 7 – Tuesday 1/29/2013 • Block 1: Mole Balances • Block 2: Rate Laws • Block 3: Stoichiometry • Block 4: Combine • California Professional Engineers Exam In the past, the exam has not been curved, 75% or better to pass Problem 4-12

  3. General Guidelines for the California Professional Engineering Exam Some hints: 1. Group unknown parameters/values on the same side of the equation example:[unknowns] = [knowns] 2. Look for a Case 1 and a Case 2 (usually two data points) to make intermediate calculations 3. Take ratios of Case 1 and Case 2 to cancel as many unknowns as possible 4. Carry all symbols to the end of the manipulation before evaluating, UNLESS THEY ARE ZERO

  4. P. E. Example P5-17B California Professional Exam Problem A B Knowns: Intermediate Conversion, X1, KC, and W1 = W2 Unknowns: FA0, W1, CA0

  5. P. E. Example 1) Mole Balances 2) Rate Laws 3) Stoichiometry Liquid,  = 0

  6. P. E. Example 4) Combine 5) Evaluate

  7. P. E. Example Cancel unknowns FA0, k and CA0 Substitute X1 = 0.55 and KC = 5.8

  8. P. E. Example Part 2

  9. P. E. Example Substitute for FA1 and cancel FA0, CA0, k

  10. P. E. Example One equation and one unknown Solving for

  11. Heat Effects Isothermal Design Stoichiometry Rate Laws Mole Balance
